Ingredients
Seafood
- Crab Meat: 1 cup (fresh or canned)
- Shrimp: 1 cup (large, peeled and deveined)
- Lobster Meat: 1 cup (cooked, chopped)
Aromatics
- Butter: 4 tablespoons
- Shallots: 2 (finely chopped)
- Garlic: 3 cloves (minced)
Flavoring
- Tomato Paste: 2 tablespoons
- Seafood Stock: 4 cups
- Heavy Cream: 1 cup
- Fresh Herbs: ¼ cup (parsley or thyme, chopped)
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Tomato Paste: Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute, allowing it to caramelize slightly and deepen in flavor.
- Pour in the Seafood Stock: Slowly add the seafood stock to the pot, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Incorporate the Cream: Add the heavy cream and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Add the Seafood: Gently fold in the crab, shrimp, and lobster meat, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the seafood is heated through and cooked perfectly.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs to taste. Serve hot and enjoy the indulgent flavors of your Seafood Bisque with Crab, Shrimp & Lobster!
Notes
- Quality Seafood: Opt for fresh seafood whenever possible for the best flavor and texture.
- Don’t Overcook: Be careful not to overcook the seafood; it should be tender, not rubbery.
- Blend for Smoothness: For an ultra-smooth bisque, consider blending a portion of the soup before adding the seafood.
- Adjust Thickness: If the bisque is too thick, add a splash more seafood stock or cream to reach your desired consistency.
- Garnish Generously: Fresh herbs and a drizzle of cream on top add a beautiful finishing touch.
